The Guin Library is a specialized branch of the Oregon State University Libraries; we are a marine library based at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon. We provide our interlibrary lending services only to libraries. If you are an individual (not a library) who needs material from any of OSU's collections, please return to the OSU Libraries' ILL home page for other options.
